Black Stars captain misses training ahead of Congo clash

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan is a serious doubt for the Black Stars return leg World Cup qualifier against Congo on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old missed the Black Stars' training on Sunday in Accra ahead of their trip to Brazzaville.

Gyan suffered a groin injury during Friday's frustrating 1-1 draw with the Red Devils in Kumasi.

He was set to undergo a scan on Saturday but it is assumed that the degree of the injury will not allow him to play in Tuesday's return leg.

Prior to the international break, Gyan had been battling a back pain which forced him to miss their second Turkish Super Lig match.

Gyan remains Ghana's all-time top scorer with 51 goals.

Ghana's contingent are expected to leave Accra on Monday to honour the assignment.
